IPS e.max Ceram Power materials have been designed with today's all-ceramic products in mind. In the past, the goal of layering was to add translucency and depth to opaque frameworks. Now, with the high strength and highly translucent materials on the market, adding translucent layering ceramic can often lead to a grayish appearance. IPS e.max Ceram Power powders have been formulated for application on translucent structural ceramics such as lithium disilicate and zirconia and help to keep value levels high to meet dentist and patient requirements. The Power materials may also be added to opaque substructures for increased brightness when the situation demands it.
